I drank too much at LondonFurs and forgot all the songs I knew so had to make it up on the spot lol

Got a call with Caller ID saying it's from my Credit Union.
They told me there was an account breach. In a very Indian accent.
I asked if it was a breach or an incident.
He told me it was a breach.
I asked what of my data had been exfiltrated.
He said third parties had access to all of my personal info and that they needed to verify some of my information before resuming with the disclosures.
I told him I would call my credit union back to make sure there was a legit problem.
"Sir, you must read the caller ID, we are from your credit union!"
Yeah, Caller ID can be spoofed. Both number and name. AAMOF, I have an app I've done it with as a prank.
<click>
Just remember, folks, Caller ID name and number CAN be spoofed. Always tell someone who claims to be from a financial institution that you'll call them back.
It’s been 6 months since I got the phone call that changed a lot of things in my life. I might have been sent to a really low place in the aftermath but I have grown and processed past trauma and still continue to do so for my future, whether people join me or not.

I don't know what the phone call was, but I hope things are okay. *hug*

Hurrah. I think I've established that the spare RAM I have sitting in a box is not compatible with the server I was planning to put it in (at least, alongside the other RAM it's already got), so that saves a job.
To be specific, the machine currently has 48GB in 6 sticks and I have another 48GB in 12 sticks, so I could have doubled its capacity without buying anything, which would be nice, but I'm pretty sure now that the current RAM is RDIMMs and the spare RAM is UDIMMs, and the machine can't have mixed DIMM types, so that's that. Someday I might grab 24×32GB off ebay and max this server out with 768GB total (or maybe cheap out and go to 24×16GB for 384GB total), but… not today!
‘The #Greens in England and Wales have more than 100,000 members for the first time, the party has announced, a near-50% rise since Zack #Polanski took over as leader last month.
It puts them on a potential course to overtake the #Tories and comes little more than a week after the Greens announced they had moved past the #LibDems in membership number’

‘The #Greens’ surge has caused worries among some senior #Labour figures, who believe it could take votes and seats from the party in next May’s local elections in England, particularly in some London boroughs.’
Maybe if #Starmer actually implemented some of his manifesto promises, stood up to rightwing autocrats and tech bros rather than invite them into the heart of government and stopped creating the system architecture to enable fascism to thrive come 2029, then he’d have a claim to votes.
Finished another lap around the sun! Thanks for the birthday wishes so far y’all!

"Wot I dun", last Thursday's edition: I think I've found out why 8 consecutive keys on my late uncle's digital piano keyboard don't work. While following traces on one of they keyboard PCBs I brushed away what seemed like a bit of blue-green dirt, only to find a little gap in the track underneath. I think the "dirt" must have been a crystal of corroded copper! The 8 keys the trace connects to are the ones that don't work, so I may have found the problem. Now just need to solder a bit of wire on to fix it. (Not sure I'm even going to try just bridging the gap with solder because it's in an area with lots of very tiny tracks very close together and I can barely see the individual tracks without a loupe. But either side are sparser areas where I should be able to solder a wire without too much trouble.)
My aunt has lamented that she didn't know while my uncle was alive that it was something I'd be able to fix. I didn't even know while he was alive that there was something wrong with it that needed fixing - apparently he was good at playing tunes that avoided those particular keys.
“Even today, when the planet is dark, there still is hope. Don’t lose hope. If you lose hope, you become apathetic and do nothing,” she said.
“And if you want to save what is still beautiful in this world – if you want to save the planet for the future generations, your grandchildren, their grandchildren – then think about the actions you take each day. Because, multiplied a million, a billion times, even small actions will make for great change.”

“You can imagine who I’d put on that spaceship. Along with #Musk would be Trump and some of #Trump’s real supporters.
And then I would put [Russian president Vladimir] #Putin in there, and I would put [China’s] President #Xi. I’d certainly put [Israeli prime minister Benjamin] #Netanyahu in there and his far-right government. Put them all on that spaceship and send them off.”

Shamelessly stolen. I'm not sure I have ADHD but I surely have terrible burnout. I don't think I talk to anyone who'd say they didn't.
Anyway, I find myself naturally doing pretty much all of these things. I'm really trying to simplify my life, and being okay with just doing that "one thing" per day.

I totally get what you mean, and feel fortunate to have that luxury, and equally sad that others don't have access to the same.
I've honestly learnt more about myself in the past few years via fedi, than I have in my entire life!
When I got diagnosed, I was told I'd have access to support as I grew up... Sadly when I needed it, I was turned away.
Given how little benefit I got via "the system", I'm not convinced exploring whether I fit AuDHD (formally) is even worthwhile.
Especially given the huge waiting list, and me joining wouldn't only lengthen it for others.
Had a blast fursuiting in Sydney PEI on the #furrycruise
Thank you so much KeetCollie and our cruise group coordinator for making it possible.
This is probably the best description of the internet I've ever heard.
And it's musical, so #Musicofthemoment tonight is "Welcome to the Internet" by Bo Burnham.
